Trade Recommendation: Ark

Trade Recommendation: Ark

Ark (ARK/BTC) became a victim of the November 19 crypto carnage when it breached support of 0.00009. The breakdown sparked a waterfall event as those who bought the range rushed to close their positions. As a result, the pair plummeted and generated a yearly low of 0.0000752 on November 20.

At that point, Ark appeared to have more downside potential. Wiping out support of 0.00009 meant that the market had no more support. In other words, there’s no way of knowing where the price would stabilize. Fortunately, this crypto found a way to resist gravity.

Technical analysis shows that the recent breakdown of ARK/BTC appears to be nothing more than a bear trap. The market swiftly bounced and recovered 0.00009 a day after the November 19 crypto carnage. The bear trap created a lot of bullish momentum in a fairly short time frame and that catapulted the pair to as high as 0.0001167.

Currently, Ark is pulling back from the rally as participants either take profits or use this chance to exit the market out of fear of future dumps. Also, the 4-hour RSI respected resistance of 69. It seems that bulls are exhausted for now. Nevertheless, this presents us an opportunity to buy the support.

The strategy is to buy the dip as close to 0.00009 as possible. If bulls hold on to the support, we expect ARK/BTC to rally to our initial target of 0.00012. Take that out and we can climb to the top end of the range of 0.0001425.

The process may take a month.

Trade Recommendation: Waves

One of the most important things that has kept our losses minimal during this bear market is that we never allow the fear of missing out influence our trading decisions. When we see an altcoin that we have no positions in rally, we do not immediately jump on the bandwagon. That’s how a lot of new retail traders lose their capital. Instead, we wait for a significant pullback and signs of consolidation. This is exactly our approach to trading Waves (WAVES/BTC).

Waves was among the first to decouple from Bitcoin’s trend. From the low of 0.0002336 on November 21, 2018, it skyrocketed to as high as 0.001209 on December 19. That’s an increase of over 400% in less than a month. From that point, the market has been correcting. After two months of consolidation, we’re convinced that Waves is due for a rally.

Technical analysis reveal that Waves/Bitcoin is trying to carve a short-term bottom of 0.0007. This view comes after the market refused to breach this level after four attempts in less than two months. While others may argue that the support is now weak due to multiple touches, we believe that this is a case of accumulation rather than demand drying out. Volume supports this assumption.

First, we can see that volume has significantly decreased since December 19, 2018. This tells us that sellers are losing ammunition. Also, volume is thin whenever Waves touches support of 0.0007. This indicates that many participants are not interested in selling at these levels. Thus, it is likely that the market maker attempts to keep the price low and shake out as many participants as possible.

The strategy is to buy as close to 0.0007 support as possible. If bulls continue to preserve the support, they will likely attract the momentum they need to move to our targets of 0.00087 and 0.001047.

The process may take less than a month.

Trade Recommendation: Stellar

We removed Stellar (XLM/BTC) from our watch list when it failed to hold 0.000026 on January 28, 2019. At that point, we knew that a move below this level will likely result in panic selling. That’s because 0.000026 stood as the market’s 2018 support. Stellar has managed to stay above this level for the whole of 2018. Thus, the move below it on January 28, 2019 ignited massive selling.

To stop the bleeding, Stellar needed to generate heavy volume on the daily chart. This would indicate that a big buyer has stepped in to absorb the selling pressure. We suspect that this happened yesterday, February 19.

Technical analysis shows that XLM/BTC is attempting to carve a durable support at 0.000021. This view comes after Stellar printed heavy volume yesterday when the market touched 0.000021. On February 19, the volume skyrocketed to 142.652 million XLM units when the daily trading average was about 60.614 million XLM units. The last time Stellar generated this type of volume was five months ago. This was an indication that a large player has stepped in.

In addition, XLM is trading near oversold conditions. With the market being so badly beaten over the last couple of months, it is due for a relief rally at the very least.

The strategy is to buy as close to 0.000021 as possible. If bulls can stay above this level, they will likely generate a rally to our targets of 0.000026 and 0.00003.

The process may take a month.

Trade Recommendation: EOS

It established a short-term bottom of $1.55 on December 7, 2018. At that point, the market lost over 93% from its 2018 high of $23.029 on April 29. While this crypto looked dreadful when it recorded its 2018 low on December 7, volume on that day was significantly heavy. This told us that the smart money was accumulating positions in bulk while stopping the bleeding at the same time.

With buyers emerging, EOS entered an accumulation period as it range traded between $1.75 and $3 for over two months. This period ended yesterday when the price decided to trend higher.

Technical analysis shows that EOS took out resistance of $3 on February 18, 2019. This triggered the breakout from range accumulation, which may have likely signalled that the bottom is in. Also, the breakout looks valid. Yesterday, the coin printed volume that’s over 300% of its daily average. This tells us that sentiment has likely shifted from bearish to bullish.

Yesterday’s move, however, pushed EOS to overbought territory. Also, the 200-day moving average is acting as a resistance. These signals indicate that this altcoin is due for a pullback. We’ll take this chance to buy on dips.

The strategy is to buy on the retest of $3. If bulls can stay above this support, they’ll likely gather the momentum to rally to our range midpoint of $4. Take that out and the next target is $5.

The process may take less than a month.
